Shot DEAD
Millard White, a Belmont Mill Man Meets
With a Sudden Fate,
IN MORGAN COUNTY, THIS STATE.
While Entering Another Mans House He is
Shot
BY The OWNER, SAMUEL MILLER.

Yesterday afternoon Manager Reister, OF
the Belmont mill, received a telegram an
~nouncing the fact that Willard White, a
well known South Side man, had been shot
andinstantly killed near Paw Paw, Morgan
county, W. Va, from which place the tel
egram was dated. 1t gave no particulars
of the affair, but created quite a sensation
among the gentleman's friends in the lower
end Of the city, and it was o the topic
of conversation about the streets, every
endeayor being made to learn further news
concern ing the shooting.
Willard White Is a catcher at the nail
plate rolls of the Belmont mill and works
under Mr.. P. J.. Campbell. Several days
since he received a telegram from his
brother, Arthur White, who lives at Tim
Der Ridge, about twenty-five miles from
Cumberland, Nd, and near Paw Paw, an
~nouncing that their mother was dead, and
he left Immediately for that point.
The REGISTER made an effort to gain
some additional particulars regarding the
matter and secured a telegram from Cum
berland at u late hour stating that u crowd
of men headed by a man named White
went to the house of. a
man named Samuel Miller living one
mile from Paw Paw, early Saturday morn
ing for the purpose of lynching him. White,
it is said, was the first to enter the house.
Miller was armed with a revolver and
discharged it rs White entered the door. the
bullet striking him in the heart and killing
him instantly.
No further information could he secured,
and why they wanted to lynch Miller, or
whether they afterwards succeeded in
doing so is not known, as the telegraph
office at Paw Paw closed early last even
ing.
The unfortunate man leaves a wife and
three children, who reside at the corner of
Market and Twenty-sixth streets. The
shock to the wife, when she heard the
news, was terrible, and the family have
the sympathy OF the community. Mrs.
White will leave for Paw-Paw this morn
ing. White is known as a high, quick
tempered man, and this failing has gotten
him into trouble several times.

Speaking of Nancy & Co, TO he at the
Opera House tomorrow evening, the New
York Times says:
Nancy q Co" is positively and unre-
servedly a succeSs-keeping the audience
in a whirl of excitement and merrimcnt
for two and One-half hours. Throughout
the piece, even in its most farcical scenes,
the stimulation of probability is retained,
and there is an atmosphere of romance not
usually found in farces. In how great a
degree the presence of these desirable ele-
ments is due TO the d~elicacy and finished art
of Arthur Rehan's Company we will not
undertake to decide this morning. Ger
tainly a more perfect representation of q
farcical play was never given in this city.

THE DESIGN

of the valentine OF the early day, consisted
almost invariably of q blOated- looking
Cupid, and one or two enamOred hearts,
which the little god of love was trans
fixing with a poisonous shaft. Different
variations were introduced, all describing
the condition in which the lOve-lOrn youth
was reduced. 1t was the proper caper to
add a few lines, which were made to
rhyme, to effect the tout ensem-
bic, as the French reporter would say.
The rose is red, the violet blue" etc. ,
were on the valentine received by Susan
b. Anthony in 1877, and have been hand
ed to succeeding generations, Just to show
what a valentine poet at a salary of II
cases per week could DO. The verse has
been immortalized, but the name OF the
man who perpetrated them has been lost.
There is a tradition that he was.

but the story lacks cOrrObOrative details.
Cupids and bleeding hearts are out of
date, and na~mby-pamby sentiments on
corning roses and. yiolets are no longer con-
sidered the thing. With tine increase of
cultivation among the masses of the peo-
pie, u demand has sprung up for more cost
ly and elaborate valentines, in which
graceful verses unite with chaSte design.
4 great improvement has consequently
taken place in the artistic value of the val
e%ntine, hut at the expense OF its distinctive
feature, which has almost entirely disap-
peared. The valentine of the present age
and date is nothing more or less than u
modified Christmas earl. Both are coli
structed on the same general plan, with
but a few triAing differences.
